    There are many nicknames for the narrator of the story that in fact take presences over her real name which we don’t learn until later in the story. The nicknames help us to understand whom others perceive her as. A key lesson of the story is that the nicknames help us to understand that beneath that loud voice and confidence is a adolescent who is inexperienced. When she insists that her Grandfather call her Hazel is when we get the affirmation of her identity.…

    Hazel told Augustus about how death is separating her from her family and she’s scared to talk about death, since every time they discuss about the topic of death, her parents seem to be extremely worried and gloomy. “I could feel everyone watching us, wondering what was wrong with us, and whether it would kill us, and how heroic my mom must be, and everything else. That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.” (Grace 2014 – Page 144). This quotes explains hazels fear of death because she states about how she can feel everyone wondering about her, caring for her, specially her parents and since she doesn’t want anyone to be close to her, she’s getting separated from everyone. She doesn’t have a way out of this problem. For her, that’s the worst part about having cancer, and how her parents would think she’s depressed but in reality she is not.

    One of Green’s strengths is creating believable characters – people we could recognize in our own real worlds. They are loveable or despicable, but we adore them all for the very fact that they are “right” – they fit the world he has created and they serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things. The Fault in Our Stars is no exception to this Green-rule. From our main character, Hazel, who is sick but refuses to let that define her, to her parents – who are strong and weak, open and secretive; from Augustus, who is so consciously self-absorbed that he – and we- are actually able to enjoy…
